I obtained this bayonet today. I dont know anything about it. I was hoping to get info on it such as when it was produced? was it in full production or experimental ?  what branch was it made for ?  just basics on it.

That is a very unique looking bayonet.

I'm curious to hear more about it too.

Is the "fingerguard" plastic or metal?

Remove the grips (2 screws) and take another shot. It's M-7 Bayonet based

I imagine theres no real difference in the tang if I remove the grips. Is there something specific im looking for?

The material seems to be split. I found this page, and so far this page offers the best information on the knife.

I think you hit another home run, AGS. Good score!

The one WillyP posted looks different. The handle is round not checkered like mine. Unless I kind find conclusive information that this is experimental I am going to change the grips out for regular period correct grips. I only need to find a right side.

I must be missing something.  Why not leave it as-is and get a standard bayo?  They aren't that hard to come by.
